JDA Software Acquires i2 Technologies
Hello. Im Hamish Brewer, CEO and President of JDA Software Group and Im delighted to have the
opportunity to share with you my thoughts on the combination of JDA and i2 announced on November 5,
2009. The challenges of the global financial crisis continue to be at the forefront of corporate
thinking around the world. Thats why I believe that this is the perfect time to create a company
that will unquestionably possess the greatest potential for innovation and service targeted
squarely at improving business results. The combined resources, talents and track records of JDA
and i2 create a platform from which I assure you we intend to accelerate innovation, expand service
and support, protect customer investments and deliver improved results to the bottom line. In
short, JDA and i2 intend to create a leader in supply chain and we aim to do this, first and
foremost, by earning and maintaining each customers trust, and second, by consistently delivering
real results.
The challenges that companies worldwide face are in many ways unprecedented. This challenging
paradigm demands transformational thinking, dependable delivery and a solid return on investment.
The integration of our companies into one seamless organization will afford us the scale to take
planning, optimization and execution disciplines to the next level. We will back innovation in
these areas with comprehensive support and services designed to optimize the profits of companies
in the retail, manufacturing, wholesale, distribution and services industries globally.
Id like to speak to some of the changes we expect to deliver and also address some of the things
that we dont intend to change at all:
|
|
New Innovative Solutions that Create New Value for our Customers. The combination of these
two companies will bring together the markets largest and most experienced team of supply
chain professionals capable of innovating in the fields of planning, optimization and
execution for our customers. We will be able to create accelerated and highly differentiated
innovation at a pace that will be hard for others to follow. My promise to our customers is
that our focus will not waiver from the primary goal of delivering maximum value to their
businesses in a form that is easy and cost effective to deploy and maintain. Many of these
opportunities will emerge from implementing our respective solutions as over 130 joint
customers of i2 and JDA have already done. |
|
|
|
Investment Protection. JDA has a long-standing history of protecting the investment of our
customers. This will not change. To create the innovation opportunities that I just mentioned,
we will integrate our solutions, creating new solutions as a result. However, I assure you
that we will do so in a manner that is respectful of our customers investment and considerate
of the changes that they can absorb. Within 90 days of the close of the acquisition we will
launch an integrated product roadmap focused on ensuring continuity and providing easy access
to new innovation. |
|
|
Expanded Services and Support. We know that technology is just an enabler, and that real
results are achieved by combining great technology with great people. Our opportunities in
this respect are second to none. The combined companies will incorporate the worlds largest
and most experienced team of industry experts. We intend to harness this capability to ensure
that our customers can implement mission-critical process improvement with minimum risk and
maximum return on investment. Our capabilities will allow for the implementation of solutions
either in the traditional behind the firewall model or as a service delivered with the
highest quality. Our goal is to give our customers the options they need, and to work with
them to ensure that whichever delivery model best suits their business, we are able to provide
distinctive value. In addition to expanded deployment models and services, we will also focus
on total cost of delivery to maximize value for tier one customers and ensure competitiveness
in the mid-market. |
To summarize, my objective at this stage is to reassure you that JDA will keep customer interests
at the forefront, create new business opportunities for all JDA and i2 customers, and build a
service and support operation which is unmatched in terms of quality and value.
We expect the transaction to be final during the First Quarter of 2010 and will use JDAs past
integration experience to make the transition to a single company as rapid and seamless as
possible.
These are exciting times for our associates, partners and I hope, for our customers, as we enter
into a new era for the industries we serve.
I thank you for your business and look forward to adding even more value to our existing business
relationships, as well as many new ones, in the years ahead.
